Vintage Desmo Vehicle Foot Pump

This piece of automobilia history is a Vintage Desmo Vehicle Foot Pump made by Desmo, Brierley Hill, Staffordshire. It dates to about 1960.

Made from Steel and Rubber, it is in fairly good working condition with surface scuffs and scratches commensurate with age and use but still retains some of its original blue/grey coating. I haven't tried to polish it or remove the rust as I wanted to retain the patina. The welding of one end of the spring wire has become loose but this has no effect on the pump operation.

The original owner has also added a metal hook so that he could hang the pump from his garage shelf. This can be removed.

Approximate Foot pump Dimensions when closed:

• Width:- 37cm
  
• Max Depth:- 10cm
  
• Height: ~13cm
  

This is a great working collectible for the classic car enthusiast or to display in the retro garage.
